Whence at you such data on SU-7BMK?
Su-7BMK - It is made on the basis of Su-7BKL. Su-7BKL - the quantity of fuel is increased, the design is changed, equipment EW etc is added.
Su-7BMK - Had 8 hardpoints. Su-7BMK - differed from Su-7BKL older equipment. The truth is written that Egyptians without the permission - modernised Su-7BMK and have increased quantity hardpoints to 8 pieces. Then the USSR and made them with 8 hardpoints = 3300 kg.
Usually on all series Su-7 - 2 fuel tanks were established only. About 4 fuel tanks I have found nothing.

Planes Su-17M3.

Su-17M3 Is improved Su-17M2. Other equipment, is more than fuel.
It is written that it can to bear on itself(himself) 8 aviation bombs, everyone on 500 kg.
Also it is written that since 1981 rockets Kh-27PS, Kh-25MP, Kh-58U were typical arms of many regiments of the USSR. But always for a fighting problem planes armed with those arms which were necessary for problem performance. I am for example confident that during war in Afghanistan - these planes on armed with it rockets about which I has written, they armed with bombs, NURS etc.

"Whence at you such data on SU-7BMK?"

A piece here and there on the internet.

"Usually on all series Su-7 - 2 fuel tanks were established only. About 4 fuel tanks I have found nothing."

I have rechecked my notes. What I found is that
fuel tanks could be carried on the two under fuselage pylons and starting from the SU-7BM even on the two inner underwing pylons. But you are correct, four fuel tanks was a "ferry" configuration and usually was not done in practice.

"Su-7BMK - Had 8 hardpoints. Su-7BMK - differed from Su-7BKL older equipment. The truth is written that Egyptians without the permission - modernised Su-7BMK and have increased quantity hardpoints to 8 pieces. Then the USSR and made them with 8 hardpoints = 3300 kg."

When was this carried out?

First deliveries Su-7BMK were in the middle of 1966. They participated in war with Israel, the truth not successfully - from 64 planes 27 has been destroyed on the earth in the first day of war on Jule, 5th, 1967.
After that the USSR has put many these planes for Egypt (it is not specified how much precisely). With assistance of the West German firm, the Egyptian planes have been modernised and on them have established in addition 2 hardpoints. Exact date it is not informed, but it is possible to assume what is it has occurred in the end of 1967 or in the beginning to the middle of 1968 since in 1969 of the USSR also built planes with the same quantity hardpoints.

Another question on the SU-17/SU-20 series. I have seen diagrams showing that pylons capable of carrying three
FAB-100 could be installed on the hardpoints. Was the same possible with pylons carrying two FAB-250? Or only one of these 250kg weapons could be carried on each hardpoint?
